There are some people left in the lab itself and they were killed by the robots. The power in the underground facility had ran out and Tim, Jacob and Nick were separated from the rest of the researchers. Jacob witnessed an researcher being shot by a robot with its lasers in the office. The police were notified to help the trapped researchers, When the police arrived they could not see anything as the lab was entirely underground. They were told that the lab was underground so they try to find the entrance.
